Aimsigh é!
This book is the first to provide an in-depth discussion of crime in Ireland from 1870 to 1920. While agrarian crime was an important and distinctive phenomenon, most crimes committed in Ireland were non-agrarian in nature, and in the countryside most offences were relatively minor in character: most of the country's serious or indictable crimes were committed in Ireland's towns and cities, with Dublin featuring especially highly in the annual crime statistics. Many crimes in urban areas were carried out by child or juvenile offenders, who sometimes formed themselves into gangs for their own protection.
